A series of pics of the stunning male Rrd Breasted Flycatcher at Church Cove earlier this week.

Male Red Breasted Flycatcher enjoying a preen in the morning sunshine.

RBF breeds mainly in east and central Europe and winters in Pakistan ,India and the middle east and is a rare visitor to Britain mainly in the Autumn ,but most birds are first winter birds, so to see an adult male with the red throat and breast  is a real rarity.

They can be fairly phyllosc like at times .

Almost a winning flight shot showing the nice tail pattern.
